You will own the governed knowledge layer between our data warehouse and the applications, assistants, and analysts that consume it: metrics, domain context, quality signals, and the APIs that expose them. This is semantic modeling and knowledge engineering, not dashboard reporting or model training.</p> <p><strong>The Opportunity:</strong></p> <ul> <li>You will design and operate the shared knowledge&nbsp;layer behind conversational analytics at Agoda: turning&nbsp;scattered business knowledge into versioned,<br>reviewable assets that return consistent, current&nbsp;answers.</li> <li>You pair with a senior tech lead on product&nbsp;architecture. Your scope is the layer itself (models,&nbsp;context, validation, governance workflows) and how it&nbsp;is exposed through service and agent interfaces.</li> </ul> <p><strong>What You’ll Do:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Model governed metrics, dimensions, joins, and grain&nbsp;for business domains</li> <li>Structure expert context, glossaries, and validated&nbsp;question patterns as Git-reviewed assets</li> <li>Build freshness, drift, and validation signals; treat stale&nbsp;knowledge as a production issue</li> <li>Expose the layer through APIs so applications and&nbsp;agents get deterministic answers</li> <li>Enable domain owners to propose, review, and&nbsp;publish knowledge without engineering deploys</li> <li>Partner across analytics, product, and platform teams&nbsp;on access control and quality standards</li> </ul> <p><strong>Required Qualifications:</strong></p> <ul> <li>4+ years in BI, analytics engineering, data platform, or&nbsp;software engineering with heavy data modeling</li> <li>Semantic or metrics-layer experience (LookML, dbt&nbsp;metrics, or equivalent)</li> <li>Strong SQL and analytical modeling on OLAP /&nbsp;warehouse systems</li> <li>Knowledge engineering: versioned definitions, peer&nbsp;review, contributor workflows</li> <li>API / service mindset: you design for multiple&nbsp;consumers, not a single dashboard</li> <li>Clear communication across engineering, analytics,&nbsp;and product partners</li> </ul> <p><strong>Preferred Qualifications:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Open-source semantic layer engines (Cube,&nbsp;MetricFlow patterns)</li> <li>Agent or tool-interface experience for LLM-powered&nbsp;applications</li> <li>NL-to-data products, retrieval, or evaluation harnesses</li> <li>Python or Node.js service development</li> <li>Large-scale e-commerce or travel analytics&nbsp;environments</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;#Manila #Kualalumpur #Singapore #Bangkok #Thailand</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><div class="content-conclusion"><p>&nbsp;</p> <h4>&nbsp;</h4> <h4><span class="font-semibold" data-streamdown="strong">Please review our Hiring Process Guidelines before your interview — click <a href="https://careersatagoda.com/interview/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">here</span> </a>to learn how interviewing at Agoda works.</span></h4> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3><strong>Discover more about working at Agoda</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Agoda Careers&nbsp;<a href="https://careersatagoda.com/">https://careersatagoda.com</a></li> <li>Facebook&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/agodacareers/">https://www.facebook.com/agodacareers/</a></li> <li>LinkedIn&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/agoda">https://www.linkedin.com/company/agoda</a></li> <li>YouTube&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/agodalife">https://www.youtube.com/agodalife</a></li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Equal Opportunity Employer&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>At Agoda, we pride ourselves on being a company represented by people of all different backgrounds and orientations.
